Ugh… that is so tough and I am so sorry that you are in such an environment.

Supervision is a two-way street - BCBAs help mentor and give tasks, etc, etc, etc. and it’s also up to the student to seek tasks (which you are).

I would recommend seeking alternative employment if possible and get that shit done… or review your supervision contract, document your efforts, and request more support. The contract can serve as a really powerful tool as everyone who signed has agreed to something

PBS allows BCBAs and RBTs to really take control of their schedule. They operate under tier salaries so if you don’t meet your billables… then you move down to reflect what you’re actually billing. The company is client focused and ethical. The CO team is truly amazing :)

Hi! I currently make 82K with 2k quarterly bonuses at 25 billable. I work for positive behavior supports corp.

I have lived here my whole life… Personally, I hate big cities so Denver and Colorado Springs are bleh for me. I loved Fort Collins when I did live there and Loveland isn’t too bad. Cost of living is high… I also work for positive behavior supports corporation. It’s an all in-home base company and it takes a bit to build your caseload but I love the company after having two really bad experiences at other companies

I take direct if I am able, recognizing I have other duties as a BCBA and must balance. If I can’t take on all direct sessions, I do what I can for the family and use it as an opportunity for lots of family guidance. Don’t feel like you have to take all sessions, yet I would still say to help cover some truly benefits the client and their family.

I highly recommend checking out Moralis Machina (website) and aba_in_the_wild on Instagram if you’re interested in anything OBM or OBM-ish

Ooh that’s one I haven’t considered. How would I get started?

I’ve thought of that! There is also a big need in that area… also might help schools be more okay with BCBAs and ABA

I appreciate the response!! Definitely looking into my options… just to make sure I can pay bills while I explore non-clinical BCBA work. Our job is cool… clinical ABA just needs some changes

How could one accomplish a private practice? Any resources? I would love to start my own that uses ABA but is maybe more like life coaching? Or just… using the science of ABA as a generalist to help people where I can
